Another title. A third in four seasons as the Dragons beat Cambrian & Clydach 1-0 to clinch top spot in Division One of the Welsh League, putting the cherry on top of the most sumptuous of cakes in doing so.

“We’re all hugely privileged to work for this football club,” added Chesterfie­ld.

“This club deserves better so we want to set our stall out and enjoy the challenge.”
